V. I.

Lenin

Dear Comrade, I received the proofs today (the last ones, I think), and
we are sending them off this very day. The instruction on the order of the articles has already been sent, so that
I hope the double issue (price 20 centimes) will soon be
out. Let me know when exactly.

I am sending this express for the following urgent reason: very important (and favourable) news has been
received from Russia. We want to publish another (two-page)
issue of the C.O. right away, to appear really at once.
If, contrary to all expectations, it is possible to guarantee
this time that Kuzma and Kuzmikha will honour their promise (i.e., will set about it at once, and bring it out
without the least delay), telegraph: “ garanti ”. If not (which
is of course much more probable, because we know how unreliable Kuzma is in spite of your efforts), then telegraph
(Seidenweg. 4a)
“ non ”. [1]

I shall write tomorrow about the lecture.

Salut , Yours, Lenin
